Project Gustav: Immersive Digital Painting

Project Gustav is a digital painting system that enables artists to become immersed in the digital painting experience. It achieves interactivity and realism by leveraging the GPU to implement novel art-media modeling and brush-simulation algorithms, and takes full advantage of recent input devices with pen and touch capabilities.

Real-Time GPU-Based Video Upscaling From Local Self Examples

A new real-time, high-quality GPU-based upscaling technique. The new algorithm is inherently parallel and operates independently on small regions in the image. Using a specialized GPU implementation, it converts an NTSC video to full HD in 24fps, while meeting today's highest image-quality standard.
